In 2018, the most anticipated animated movie I want to watch must be "The Internet". After finally getting what I wanted, this sequel did not live up to my expectations. It is the best.
On the one hand, the film continues the spirit of collecting game IP, which is "retro" enough ; on the other hand, it also visualizes the colorful Internet world in dazzling forms, which is "innovative" enough .
I know that some audiences dislike the plot of the film is not fresh (or even old-fashioned), the way of telling the story is not clever enough (slightly superficial), and the overly entertaining costumes have dispelled the connotation that could have been further explored... But it moved Me, that's enough.
This is a work about how "friendship" should be self-consistent , and it is worth giving to all the friends who have had friendship and can still keep it.
[Friendly reminder: The following is a little spoiler. 】
When it comes to "Havoc on the Internet", its biggest gimmick must be the countless easter eggs (that can't be avoided at all) .
Except for those icons in the Internet world that are either thunderous or new and super cool, the best part is naturally that Disney's father "shows his muscles": whether you admit it or not, copyright can really do whatever you want!
Disney Headquarters, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Pixar Studios - if there was still a lack of concept when Disney laid out this territory, then a glimpse of this film is enough to make people feel the power of Disney more intuitively.
Iron Man's low-altitude flight and Groot's Q&A, Buzz Lightyear and Dabai interacted with fans friendly, patrolling Stormtroopers were responsible for intercepting malicious pop-ups, and even Stan Lee, who was re-dimensioned... " Feast is similar in nature to Ready Player One: you can find as many Easter eggs as you can, but it doesn't matter if you don't.
The shrewd Disney has cracked the abacus, and of course the best and most outstanding "Easter Eggs" must be reserved for themselves - the Princess League .
Here I have to mention a historical stalk : when Winelop interacted with the 14 princesses, Mellie, who speaks a Scottish language that no one understands, reached an "outlier", not only because she was the only princess from "Pixar" , but also because she has a little "small festival" with "Invincible Destruction King".
Pixar's "Brave" and Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" were both released in 2012, and the two animated films were inevitably compared, but the mainstream evaluations were quite different, and many audiences joked that "the creative Pixar made a movie." A very 'Disney' movie, and traditional Disney made a very 'Pixar' work."
The word-of-mouth and prestige of "Invincible Destruction King" was better than that of "Brave", but it lost to the latter in the competition for the best animated feature Oscar- Melida was angry in "Breaking the Internet", so she When it's "little-eyed" Disney made a little joke~
The reason why "Princess League" is the best Easter egg in this film is because they are not only skilled at playing memes, but also know how to break meme.
Most of Disney's princesses were "born" in a relatively traditional and conservative era. They were often passive and weak. They had experienced twists and turns in their life experience and needed men to save them. The princesses also used this to judge the status of Winnelope's princesses. We've seen it since the trailer.
But after watching the feature film, I understand that this is just the first step of the "princess meme"... Then, under the guidance of the princesses, Winnipeg lit up the "singing talent" and became the 15th Disney princess.
The most astonishing part is that the princesses changed their previous images and rescued Ralph with their collective efforts - even Snow White can use poison apples as poison darts, there is nothing in this world that they can't do. ? This independent spirit of "Princess should be self-improvement" can be said to be very advanced with the times.
Compared with the exquisite use of various easter eggs, I think "Havoc on the Internet" is more commendable, and it should be the shaping of the Internet world .
A lot of people don't realize how great this is because it's so natural and unremarkable— perhaps that's how the internet world looks in everyone's minds.
The Internet in the film is a huge futuristic city, both real and unreal. There are fictitious platforms, such as BuzzTube (a copycat YouTube), and there are real companies like EBay.
In this seemingly endless world, you can go anywhere with just a tap... which brings me to a rather old and very apt term: surfing the web .
There are two kinds of people in the Internet world, one is "Internet user", that is, the virtual villain image of human beings when they surf the Internet. As the original inhabitants of the Internet, they are responsible for running the network (it can be a dashing sister Shan, or it can be a green and hot chicken pop-up gentleman).
The film achieves "objective reality" in shaping the online world: it only depicts various network phenomena without adding subjective judgments.
Even for the "dark web" .
Although the underground world in the film is dark and dangerous, although the double-headed Dan does not look like a good person, although there are indeed many dark and illegal activities in the real dark web... But "Havoc on the Internet" still gives A relatively objective positioning of the "dark web": a mixture of fish and dragons, everything, that is, "unpurified, disorderly and wild Internet".
This is much stronger than some media pushes that blindly unilateralize and demonize the "dark web" in order to gain attention.
In this context, which is as objective and rational as possible, it would be interesting to appropriately give "Internet citizens" a personality/character.
For example, the jack-of-all-trades who appears in the image of Dr. Round, always tries to guess what other people want to search for, and also cares about the indifferent and hurried attitude of "Internet users" - in real life, it is a very convenient function for search engines to bring out keywords , and we don't say "thank you" to search engines either - the talkative, arrogant, glass-hearted, and (politely) likes of Winthrop's jack-of-all-trades is cute when you figure that out.
"Havoc on the Internet" is objective, but it does not have "attitude" at all. It only includes attitudes in the phenomenon, and does not carry obvious praise or criticism.
Sister Zan's plan for Ralph's tailor-made "net red collection of likes and traffic realization" is very typical.
One like is cheap, but thousands of likes can bring traffic dividends; the person behind the screen may be smiling, or it may be frowning and insulting; the choice of "Internet users" is the result of careful selection, but it may only be Just clicked on the pop-up ad... In this world, rationality and blindness coexist, solidity and exaggeration coexist.
The above are the obvious advantages of "Invincible Destruction King 2: Havoc on the Internet", but what I like most is the core of the film's most controversial subject: the growth of friendship.
The first "Invincible Destruction King" tells the story of Ralph and Vanellope, who are looking for "a sense of identity", and become close friends by chance. The audience witnessed the birth of a friendship. This experience cannot be replicated.
But in fact, Ralph and Vanellope are two completely different types of people: the former is happy to live day after day, year after year, contented and rich, and with a true friend there is nothing else to ask for. ; The latter yearns for new, exciting, ever-changing challenges, without repetition, full of unknowns, but suffering from no chance to start over.
If the first movie proves that "different people can be friends," then the second is to prove that "friends can still be friends after discovering their own faults and different pursuits."
It stands to reason that Ralph is too interesting: Vanellope was bored, so he helped create a new track; "Sweet Sprint" broke down, so he took his friends to the Internet to find the steering wheel; in order to collect money for the steering wheel, he Going to shoot all kinds of sand sculpture videos to collect praise...
Ralph can not care about the harm of cyber violence, anyway, he has long been used to being a villain, as long as he can be a hero of Winnelope alone, he has no regrets - how many such friends are there in the world?
A "friend" can be perfect, but no "person" can be perfect. Ralph also has his faults, such as being annoying, clingy, and unconfident... In fact, the two "crises" in the film are inseparable from him: "Sweet Sprint" was badly played because Ralph arbitrarily A new runway was built before the finish, and the Internet world was hit by a virus because Ralph himself became the biggest security hole.
In order to help friends and keep friends, the harmless king of destruction has become the "king of destruction" who has committed evil deeds. This is the consequence of improper handling of "friendship changes".
Of course, these "crises" are not all Ralph's fault, and Vanellope is equally responsible : if it weren't for him rushing to play the new track with the players, "Sweet Dash" would not be bad, if he could tell his friends about himself in time Having changed his mind, Ralph might not be too fascinated to use the virus.
To put it bluntly, everyone has a selfish and willful side, and most people cannot become/have "perfect friends" because we have our own problems and faults, as well as our own dreams and pursuits.
But who has ruled that imperfect people and people with different Taos cannot be friends? At the end of "Breaking on the Internet", Ralph and Winnipeg reached a "reconciliation" , one was doing nothing in the deserted arcade, the other was drifting and shuttling in the dangerous and exciting "wild racing" - friendship did not Dismantled by distance, they have become stronger and stronger because of the maturity of both sides.
I think this film has a very "healing" meaning : some people would never have contact with themselves in their entire lives, but they became friends because they lived close to their homes, worked at the same table, and played games together when they were young. Now they grow up, Some go to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen to work hard, and some live in their hometowns... But among those who "parted ways", apart from being unfamiliar, they may still be able to find that bond.
If it resonates with me , Wreck-It Ralph 2: Havoc on the Internet is perfect.
